Re: Xubuntu

I've looked at many linux distros and have decided on Xubuntu. At first
I ran a dual boot system but now the machine is a dedicated Xubuntu PC. Anyone else in BBS land use Xubuntu? I see some Mint chit chat along
with some others but nothing about any of the Ubuntu family of distros.
I would appreciate any input on the subject. Thanks
Well, Xubuntu is not bad. Are you planning to run a BBS along side with actually using it as a desktop, or a dedicated BBS? If dedicated then I wouldn't recommend it.
DOSEMU, if you plan to run doors on that, provided by Ubuntu's repos also has some issues, so you would be better of personally compiling it yourself or re-bundling a new deb package based on their repos, but with a newer version, which fixes a lot of issues in things, along with speed, random wierdness, extra random keystrokes, etc..
Really just overall depends on what you intend to do. I personally, have a VM running my BBS, dedicated in that mannor.
